Yamaha will stream the company's 125th anniversary concert headlined by Elton John in Anaheim for free online, the company announced Wednesday on the eve of the annual NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center.

The private concert hosted by Yamaha, which has its U.S. sales and marketing headquarters in Buena Park, highlights a new technology that will beam Elton John's piano performance note-for-note live to other Disklavier pianos in Korea, Australia, Russia, Canada, Germany and other locations around the world for the first time.

John is expected to perform around 10:25 p.m. at the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure. He'll play five songs on his custom red Yamaha Disklavier piano. His finger presses will be synced to audio and video of the rest of the concert and then broadcast around the world.
